2d on 1½d & 5d on 4½d BW #101 & 125 (mild edge toning) tied to plain FDC by superb Lakemba (NSW) '1AU30' FD datestamp (another superb strike alongside), typed address to Herbert Nowland, unsealed flap. Extremely rare. [Although the FDI for the surcharged issues is somewhat contentious, this cover was serviced by the Lakemba postmaster, who you expect would have known the official first day of issue]
